Life Plans on Dive Bar Napkins: A guide to travelling recklessly, living stupidly

Product Information

We had originally planned to visit Cuba and travel along the Caribbean coast of central America but due to some massive hurricanes, we ditched that idea and instead travelled along more of the Pacific coast which attracts less tourists. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

I want to step out of an airport's arrival terminal without anywhere to stay and have my nose brutally assaulted by the smell of burning petrol.

I can’t thank everyone enough for their support in purchasing the book (and for sending me photos of it ‘in the wild’ – I love seeing these! A group of friends I’d met in London – and then various other travellers joined us for little periods of time if they were headed the same way.

I wrote this book for the people who want to experience something different, who drink because they enjoy it, and whose life plans begin as incoherent scrawls on the back of a dive bar napkin.

Don’t tell mum you are backpacking through Honduras and El Salvador at a time when those countries are having periods of unrest. We had been living in London for a number of years and needed two things – some sun and to travel through an area with a lower frequency of drunk Australian backpackers than the pubs of Clapham we were used to.

Life Plans on Dive Bar Napkins is a book of experiences Paul always wanted to get into print, but worried that some tut-tutting travel editor would strip of all the best jokes. Today, you can often find Paul with bags under his eyes, scrolling through his phone absently looking for international flight sales as his young children test the boundaries of physical and personal safety on playground equipment in Melbourne’s inner-west. With a mix of humor, personal anecdotes, and practical tips, author Paul Manser invites readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery, encouraging them to embrace their inner adventurer and pursue their wildest dreams. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Our Spanish was patchy at best and we travelled with a backpacker from Andorra for part of the trip who helped us navigate our way through El Salvador.

If I was to take a long trip through central America again, I would go back via the Caribbean coast next time to do the trip we originally planned.
